Title of Song: Walking Contradiction
Date/year: August 20, 1996
Musician: Green Day
Why I like this song:
I went to go look at songs in 1996, because I don't really know the songs that came out when it was my year 0. I saw that Green Day had a song on the top 100 list for 1996, and since I listen to Green Day, I decided to go try the song out. Now I have officially listened to it at least 100 times and its only been a day! I don't know exactly what I like about it, I just do. It may be the fact that its from Green Day and I like their music but also the song in general. Its not necessarily the words that speak to me, but the song as a whole.
